Don't listen to this kind of hopeless message about Haiti. Those messages, just like words that have been saying about Haiti in the U.S. media for long, those words, messages, hopeless stories are bad for your mind and bad for Haiti.

Before the earthquake, I read many similar stories about Haiti quote that "Haiti can't be succeed no matter what, blah blah,  The  fact is, I am from Haiti and I don't see that. and, In the contrary I picture Haiti better and easier to be fixed than any country on earth.

Haiti and Haitian people do not need much to live a normal life, but it's just that they never physically try to do anything that can help the country permanently,  they just running a bunch of humanitarian works into Haiti and they just sit there and bringing fake news back to back about the Haitian people and Haiti. 

Moreover,  whereas, they have always come with  those  discouraging and hopeless stories about Haiti, but nevertheless they write stories that explain : Why they are not  yet starting to work on the real problem. Or at least bring a story that explain when they will start working on the real issues of Haiti  to get the country fix.

Therefore, you can't tell it is impossible when there have never  tried working or focus on  to fix those issues in Haiti.
For example, subject such as;" lack of or no basic infrastructure in Haiti" have been circulated in the news for more then 2 decades, but I have never heard of one news that report that "they are starting to working on Haiti infrastructures".
How come they easy to say Haiti it's difficult or hopeless, but  not easy to say the fact which is they never try to help the country where the country really need help with.


These kind of  stories are not good for Haiti and the Haitian people mind. They psychologically discouraging Haitian people and any one who really cares about Haiti, and physically they help bad people or foreigners to take advantage of the countries, and also discouraging other countries that really want to help Haiti too. 

"Free Pass", is that means he's became a free agent?

Unless I know for sure, I can't go against either one, because whoever his name is, the owner of the Cavs. mentioned to the press that  Lebron James has gotten a free pass, and also said a lot of mean things that show how angry he is about Lebron. Meanwhile, Jesse Jackson refers some of the things he's said as " Slave Mentality ".  And there have been so many bad comments against Jesse Jackson for what he believed related to slave and racist.


To sum it all out,  unless "free pass" means that Lebron James contracted ended, therefore, I think by saying "he's gotten a free pass" and among other mean things, may give a good reason for people who expert in race discrimination issues to believe that and act.

One Problem I have with all these talking online, in the streets, newspaper and on TV about Haiti and Haitian people, is that, the news and stories regarding Haiti are just hovered with about same topics for decade.


I understand that before there was not many ways to intercept people or anything, but these days, with all the online tools we have, I expect that  the Haitian people and their leaders would have been interested in fixing their reputation and debunk so many untrue stories that have been around so long about Haiti and Haitian people, but I realize that it's not happening.  


I will explain what I think later, but let me ask this question:
  
Why is it  when someone is a superstar, Rap Star, Popular Author, etc..  like Wyclef Jean  for example, whom, when he says something, many people would believe him,  would not talk and tell the true publicly to the Haitian people of what really going around Haiti and in Haitians lives?
  
The reason for this question is because I think, for example,  if Wyclef  would tell the true about the U.S. roles toward Haiti and Haitians to the Haitian people, it would better help Haiti, especially, it would probably help the Haitian people to become more united with one mind and, I think that  one mind idea would probably help Haiti even more  than the non-stopped money collecting everyday.
  
Wyclef said that himself..he says "whatever I say to the people, they would do, they would listen to me"..so why  can't he tell the true to the Haitian people about the U.S. roles toward Haiti and Haitian people.? 

 WHY NOT TELL OR EXPLAIN TO THEM:

How the Haitian living in the U.S.-- they working so hard but spend most of their earning paying bills every month to keep U.S. economic good whereas their country is perishing; Tell them how U.S. caused Haitians to have a bad reputation in the world; Tell them how Haitians Human Rights in the U.S. are being stripped off daily- taking advantage off because of their race and nationality,  language and culture differences, and TELL THEM ETC..
 
From that,  Haitians and other people may ask:  why Haitian people are afraid to go back home despite all these bad things they have to endure in another country?  And from that point, they can find the answer if they can figure out all the deadly tricks some foreign people including, mostly from the U.S., have played against Haiti to keep Haitian people under constant fear. Fear to make the Haitian people soft and beggared them in order to easily exploit them, both in Haiti and in U.S.   Then, they can figure out and wonder the true about all the kidnappings that have been going on in Haiti; how did it started, etc... Further, they can also ask themselves what was up with that recent deadly earthquake that happened in Haiti and what may be next for Haiti and the Haitian people.


Also, why not  talk  and asking publicly about the immigration toward Haitian people:  Why is so hard on Haitian people in Haiti and U.S. Why is so hard for Haitian people in Haiti to get visa when they want to go visit abroad?   Why different rules using for Haitians in Haiti in the immigration process?  Why Foreign people can get into Haiti anytime, anyway, whenever, however, with or without respect for Haiti.


But, instead, Wyclef Jean and other Diaspora Haitian leaders rather tell the Haitian people OTHERWISE. For example they   usually say to their Haitian people things such as  " It is because of the U.S. Haiti still exists"; " If it wasn't for the U.S. I would not be here", "  " I am somebody because I come to the U.S." etc..  Making the Haitians believe their only way out of living a good life is to make it to the U.S.  either by boat or any way possible.


By the way, I may have answer of my own question.  As I mentioned fear earlier, I think fear has a lot to do with the reason.

I believe the reason for not being able to publicly tell the true, it's because of the fact that they feel that they are not living in a country with a freedom of speech for real.  Besides that, they are also afraid of being called out  of their name (Haitian; go back home; etc..)  and being referred as a dumb person, racist or as someone who hate U.S.  

Why Not Use A Respectful, Similar Way To Deal With Other Countries, And With The Al Qaeda and Taliban As Well If The Treaty Deal Goal Is To Achieve Peace?

To begin, let me remind that I am not talking about healthcare issues here which is not my business or anyone who doesn't care about living in U.S. or leaving it anytime soon.  But  this issue is target the world safety, so it is every human being issue to concern about what's going on. Therefore, it is my business to be concerned.

I'm talking about : Nuclear Weapon.  Nuclear weapon can do a lot of bad things, it can create non-natural disaster such as, earthquake, diseases, etc.. Yet, it is legal for some countries to have and illegal for other countries to possess. No wonder some countries' importance is based on the fact that they are capable to create Nuclear Weapons: Russia for example.

Lately, I have realized that the U.S. wants to be GOOD FRIEND with Russia SO BAD, flirting around with one another like a man and woman in love. Why not using the same method toward to be good friends with other countries like, for example, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.. 

It is OBVIOUS that it's because of Russia power and capability to create such weapons and even distribute them to some other countries that U.S. is hating that  U.S. wants to be friend badly with Russia.

A Russia GOOD FRIEND with U.S. is bad for the world peace, in my opinion.


With a powerful country like the Russia will only makes the U.S. more hype to go against  and step into any  poor, small, weak, underdeveloped country by accusing them of any wrong doing.

Their New Treaty Deal Questions:
I wonder Is it a joke-  Any country can cancel it at anytime if it feels its country security is threatening, and NO sanction will be imposed against any of them. So what's the point of the deal?  And, how will the world know if they are reducing their nuclear weapons by up to that 30%? Who's gonna be the mediator beyond that, and will that mediator can be trusted if there is any?

But, most important question is what good will that  for the world peace if they just  ONLY REDUCING making up to 30% WEAPONS, But not DESTROYING up to 30% and STOP MAKING ANYMORE in the future?

Peace Deal
I don't know if that treaty is intend to promote peace in the world, but it doesn't seem to add up because if both countries only looking after their own interests instead of humanity world interests in general, so it worthless.  For once, the U.S. interest seems is to find and easy way to go against other countries, such as Iran for example, and with that Treaty it will make it easy to accuse them of having dangerous weapons and then more way may be started.. 

Whereas, a real peace deal is to recognize and treat every country with the same agenda despite of the country economic power or greatness, or ability to create Nuclear Weapons.

Let's assume that Haitian people are in the most desperate living condition then they were 20 years before, expecially,  after the unexpected and yet suspicious earthquake that happened 8 weeks ago that caused the greatest catastrophic in Haiti history since it became the first black independent country in the world.


I think, therefore, there is a great chance there for taking advantage of those who are becoming so so desperate to the point they would do just about anything even kill in other to eat or to survive.  So, with that being said, we have some FOREIGNS groups    who usually portrait themselves as missionaries in other to do what they want in the country, and the desperation of the people ( NOT FAITH ) are the main reasons why the Christians attacked the Voodooisms.


Lately, It has been going on for sometimes now that there have been many efforts by some foreigns groups that trying to eliminate Vodou in Haiti, however they have been unsuccessful.  But despite their efforts, instead, recently, vodou seems to have become a more mainstream religious than it was before long ago. For example,  young Haitian people are becoming comfortably with the vodou religious in contrast in the early year when Vodou seemed to dwell among old age and poor people who live on the side of the countryside, and usually dealt in secret.  Another example, it's through my own self experience in the last two years where I have become kind of profound in listen to Vodou music which I did not used to listen before when I was in Haiti.  Also,  in 2007, Vodou has been accepted in Haiti as an official religious in the Haitians society and has its own visible temple just like other religious do, and that had sparked some controversies between the Christians, the Vodouism and the Haitian government.

The Faith of The Christianity 

What about the Christian faith, are they really believe in whom they say they serve and preaching about?  Well, if so, they would not acted the way they do, because their action is contrast to what they preach about on a first place.  If they really have faith, they  would have known that is not right to attack and blame the Vodouism for Haiti situation,  and, further, they would have enough faith to know exactly why what happened in Haiti is happens; and know how to go about to make things better.  According to their actions, they simply show their weakness and not having faith they are and also they putting our great GOD of Jesus Christ down by doing things that he opposed.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS366&q=voodoo+attacked+in+Haiti&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

This is an interesting artices that explains the true meaning beyond the so-called "Haiti Pact with the Devil", and who those Devils are. Also, why Pat Robertson and the media do not want the world to know and won't talk about:


Pat Robertson is a white evangelical Christian taking “liberty” with black people’s oppression.  A son and benefactor of America’s white-controlled hierarchy of access to political and economic and religious power.  Whose obvious revisionist distortion of Haiti’s true history reveals that he did “not want to talk about it.”  Nor did mainstream media, with their momentary on-the-scene coverage of the earthquake’s horrific destruction, want to dig into the related racist ruins of Haiti’s early and recent past.  But Haitian activist and political analyst Jean Saint-Vil did “want to talk about it”—and did so before the earthquake led Haiti to cross Robertson’s mind with his passing and dishonoring judgment.

Instead of a “pact to the devil,” Jean Saint-Vil called Haiti’s “uprising against slavery . . . ‘A Giant Step for Mankind—Made in Haiti.’” (godisnotwhite.org, Aug.11, 2009).  That “giant step,” Saint-Vil writes, was taken against brutal oppression, which Pat Robertson and mainstream media choose “not . . . to talk about”:

Popes, kings and queens enriched themselves and built vast empires on the profits made with the sweat and blood of kidnapped men, women and children loaded on ships, stacked like sardines and reduced to slavery on plantations of coffee, sugar, cotton, cocoa, all over the Americas[1].  . . . millions of human beings . . . kidnapped, terrorized, thrown to sharks in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.  . . . It has been estimated that the population of Africa in the mid 19th century would have been 50 million instead of 25 million had this catastrophe known as the MAAFA [also known as the African Holocaust] not taken place[3].

Following his graphic documentation of the actual “devils,” Jean Saint-Vil then discloses the “giant step for mankind—made in Haiti,” which Pat Robertson and America’s white-controlled dominant press did not talk or write or report about.  Saint-Vil states,

It is within such an atmosphere of unparalleled terrorism and human decadence that a remarkable gathering of men and women took place on the small Caribbean island of Haiti, the evening of August 14-15, 1791.  Known as the Bwa Kay Iman Ceremony[4], it is said that this revolutionary meeting brought together representatives of twenty-one displaced African nations who vowed to revolt against the powers that had unleashed against their people such a relentless campaign of terror; a genocide that was expertly conceived and implemented, state-sponsored and financed, justified with numerous literary works and blessed by the most powerful and influential religious institutions of the....

DAKAR (Reuters) -- West and Central African singing stars will record a song in early March in the Senegalese capital Dakar to raise money for victims of last month's earthquake in Haiti, the musical project's leader said on Wednesday. 

More than 200,000 people were killed and a million left homeless when a magnitude 7.0 quake struck the poor Caribbean country on January 12. Since then, a mass of international relief efforts have been launched. 

In the most recent African aid initiative, dozens of singers, among them internationally known names including Senegalese vocalists Youssou Ndour and Baba Maal, Ivorian reggae artist Alpha Blondy and Congolese musicians Lokua Kanza and Papa Wemba, will gather in Dakar from March 1-6 to record a http://www.members.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LDE6192HQ.htm
